Mamta Sharma1, Amandeep Singh2 , Varunpreet Saini3 & Shivjot Gill4
ABSTRACT
Diaspora involves an idea of a homeland, a place from where displacement occurs and narratives of harsh journeys undertaken on account of economic compulsions. The present study aimed to explore the relation of Social Connectedness with anxiety, depression & acculturative stress of Ethiopian Diaspora in Punjabi university, Patiala. It was hypothesized that social connectedness will have inverse relationship with anxiety, depression and acculturative stress. The sample consisted of 60 Ethiopian students studying at Punjabi University Patiala. For this purpose, Social/Campus Connectedness Scale-Revised (Lee, Keough, & Sexton, 2002), Acculturative Stress Scale for international students (ASSIS) (Sandhu & Asrabadi, 1994); Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) (Lovibond, S.H., & Lovibond, P.F. (1996) were used to measure social con- nectedness and acculturative stress and mental health respectively. Pearson product moment correlation was used to analyze the data. The results revealed that social connectedness has significant negative correlation with two dimensions of acculturative stress i.e. Perceived Discrimination (r= -0.25, p(0.05); Fear (r= -0.26, p(0.05), but the negative correlation of social connectedness with perceived discrimination, perceived hate, home sickness, cultural shock, and miscellaneous dimensions could not reach to its significant level. The relation of social connectedness with anxiety (r= -0.28; p(0.05). & depression (r= -0.25; p(0.05) came out to be statistically significant. The results also show that acculturative stress has significantly positive corre- lation with depression (r= 0.28; p(0.05); anxiety (r= 0.20; p(0.05); and stress (r= 0.26, p(0.05).

M. Akilandeswari1 & Dr.K.V.Krishna2
ABSTRACT
Background: In the contemporary scenario, researchers have shown much interest in exploring the ways in which emotional responses and experiences have major impact on self esteem. Recently it has been observed that many college students are suffering from many emotional problems like poor adjustment, problematic interpersonal relationships with teachers and parents, and etc., this has been due to poor emo- tional intelligence. Many aggressive incidents are taking place in college because students are observed to have low self esteem and are unaware and unable to control their emotions. So the two main constructs i.e. self esteem and emotional intelligence highly impacts the lifestyle of student in routine college context. A healthy self-esteem is necessary for the mental well being and a feeling of belonging contributes to a sense of worth. For better psychological well-being and sense of worth, self esteem is highly needed. Objectives: The present study attempts to find out the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Self Esteem among college students and to see the gender difference in relation to the study variables. Methodology: A sample of fifty (50) college students of both genders from the age group of 20 and above of Bharathiar University in Coimbatore city was selected. The convenient sampling technique was followed to choose the respondent's for this study. Emotional Intelligence Scale (Hyde et al., 2001), and Self Esteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965) were administered to collect the required data from the respondents. T test and Correlation analysis was used to analyze the data. Results and Conclusions: The results revealed that Emotional Intelligence is positively correlated with Self Esteem. And there is no significant difference emerged between males and female stu- dents with respect to their Emotional Intelligence and Self Esteem. However, female students reported to have high Self Esteem and Emotional Intelligence compared with males. The implications of the findings were suggested.

Manoj Kumar Pandey
ABSTRACT
The present research was undertaken to address the question 'Does perceived injustice at workplace affect subjective well-being of the employee? Further, does perceived social support at home and at work- place help in lowering the negative impact of perceived injustice? The data for the study was collected on a total 428 employees of Uttar Pradesh police organization consisting of 287 males and 141 females police personnel from 12 districts of Uttar Pradesh with different ranks and varied age groups. The respondents were given measures related to perceived organizational injustice, subjective well-being (SWB) consisting of seven subscales viz. psychological well-being, life satisfaction, affect, job strain, physical health, mental health, quality of life and perceived social support both in the family and at workplace. This study was a part of PhD. thesis and when the data was collected for the study, institutional ethical committee did not exist in the University. Therefore, formal clearance could not be taken. However, the oral consent was obtained from the respondents before collecting the data. Results showed that (1) organizational injustice was negatively related to SWB. (2) Out of the five dimensions of organizational injustice, it was the procedural injustice which was found to be predicting the SWB most. (3) Perceived social support (both at workplace and family level) significantly moderated the effect of organizational injustice on SWB, specifically on the components such as affect, job strain, mental health, and quality of life of SWB. Results were discussed in the light of the model proposed for the study.

Biju George1 & Dr. K.V. Krishna2
ABSTRACT
Background: Globalization and Liberalization seem to facilitate people to move to different desti- nations of the world for economic progress. India, one of the fast developing countries of the world, has facilitated people to seek employment prospects in different pastures. From the state of Kerala, in particular, a vast number of people have moved to different countries, mainly to gulf countries in search of opportuni- ties. And it has been noticed that the children who are separated from their parents were highly disturbed in their school activities. Parents travel far and wide and therefore most often one of the parents is missing in the child-rearing. This has been extensively studied in the Western culture, but not much in India. Objec- tives: To measure the expression of assertiveness of adolescents whose same sex parents are absent? To assess the expression of assertiveness of adolescents who have same sex parents and to compare the expres- sions of assertiveness of adolescents who are living with their same sex parents and those who are not. Methodology: The study was conducted in one of the semi-urban areas in the state of Kerala. The sample size consisted of 52 adolescents who are living with their parents and 47 adolescents whose same sex parents are staying away from them. Research Design of this study is Quantitative and Population of Interest are students from one Educational Institution MAPS CBSE school at chalakudy in Kerala. The sampling method used in this study is Purposive sampling. Independent sample t-test of this research was used to gather data of information. Research Tools: Assertive Scale for Adolescents (ASA)Dong Yul Lee, Ernest T. Hallberg, Alan G.Slemon, and Richard F. Haase). Results and Conclusions: The higher expression of assertiveness is found in adolescents who are with same sex parents in comparison with those whose same sex parents are absent. Girls were found with greater assertiveness.

ANALYSIS OF COGNITIVE LOAD ON LEARNING MATHEMATICS-FACTORS INFLUENCING: THE LITERATURE REVIEW
D Venkateshwar Rao1
ABSTRACT
Human cognitive system is a limited-capacity information system. Many instructional methods may be ineffective because they ignore limitations of the human cognitive system and impose a heavy cognitive load. Heavy cognitive load is an impediment to learning of a subject. Yashpal committee in its report 'Learn- ing Without Burden' felt that "a lot is taught but little is learnt or understood". There is substantial research evidence that students experience a heavy cognitive load in mathematics learning. National Curriculum Framework (NCF,2005) expressed that a majority of children have a sense of fear and failure regarding mathematics. To achieve NCF,2005 vision (children learn to enjoy mathematics rather than fear it) and to improve mathematical problem solving skills of students in mathematics learning instructional methods should minimise cognitive load. Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) is one of the most influential theories in designing instructional methods .According to CLT Premature problem solving in early phases of skill ac- quisition imposes unnecessary cognitive load which does not contribute to learning. Learning from worked out examples is better than a single example followed by problems. A smooth transition from studying examples to working incomplete examples to problem solving is implemented to minimise the cognitive load.
Key Words: Cognitive load, human cognitive system, instructional methods

Alka Seth1 & Novrattan Sharma2
ABSTRACT
The tremendous changes in the world of work, place a high degree of pressure on the young people to make effective career choices. Their choice of career largely depends upon their career maturity levels and numerous socioeconomic, cultural and psychological forces. Career Maturity is the extent to which indi- viduals are able to make career related choices independently, and was defined by Super as the "individual's readiness to cope with the developmental tasks (for) that stage of development". It is generally accepted as comprising both cognitive and affective components. Researchers have also shown the damaging effects of deprived environment on intellectual growth of the children. Children, who have been deprived in their earlier years at homes or at schools, emotionally or intellectually, turn out to be immature, insecure and educationally adrift and consequently face a detrimental effect on their career development. Present study aims at exploring association between career maturity and expression of deprivation of students. A sample of 100 students of 10th class from Private school is drawn. The findings of the study indicate that there is significant difference between career maturity of boys and girls students of high school. In addition, ob- tained results indicate significant negative correlation between sense of deprivation and Self Appraisal and Goal Selection subtests of competency test of Career maturity. The result also reveals most of the students fall in average level of career maturity and deprivation.

Mr. Narsimulu
ABSTRACT
The students who are orthopedically handicapped are very hard to find who have realistic educa- tional and employment aspirations according to their abilities. If their self-esteem is unrealistically high and not according to their abilities, they may not achieve their goals and it would lead to low self confidence, low self-esteem and sometimes maladjustment, Hence a study was been taken up to know the Self esteem of students in Rural and Urban area and also with reference to their parent's educational background. Objective of present study is to study and compare the self-esteem of orthopedically challenged and normal students and to study and compare the self-esteem of rural and urban orthopedically challenged students. The study is comparative between normal and orthopedically challenged students the sample is taken from disabled hos- tels and normal school students the sample consists of 60 students of secondary schools and students belong- ing to 30 students from various disabled hostels and 30 belonging to normal students and out of 30 orthope- dically challenged students both 15 rural and urban. The data is grouped under two sub headings orthopedi- cally challenged and Self-Esteem. The data for Self esteem from orthopedically challenged and normal students was compared here to see any discrepancy in their self Esteem levels and a bend in this direction like The self Esteem of Orthopedically challenged and Normal students belonging to both of were found to be high. And there is no significant difference in the Self Esteem levels between orthopedically and normal students irrespective of their rural and Urban background. There is no significant difference in the Self Esteem levels between rural and semi-urban orthopedically challenged students.

Ravitheja Tirumalasetty
ABSTRACT
In this paper, we bring out swamy vivekananda's views on the philosophy of education which is for National Integration. National integration is basically a concept of national unity. Practically speaking, national integration means the active co-operation and constructive contribution of the people towards the national unity, integrity and development. It is the process of uniting differently people from all walks of life in to a single whole. It signifies a condition of unity in diversity. National integration is a socio-psychologi- cal and educational process through which a feeling of unity, solidarity and cohesion devolops in the hearts of the people and a sense of common citizenchip or feeling of liyality to the nation is fostered among them. It implies a sense of belonging, a feeling of togetherness and unity. India is a vast country inhabited by many races, castes, subcastes and communities. The most serious problem faced by India at present is, how to create and maintain the sense of integrity among the people. Various factors can contribute to develop such sense of integrity. In this regard the contribution of swamy vivekananda is worth mentioning. He has not written a treatise on this issue, but his views regarding human values and the inherent unity of all human species sprinkied throughout his various lectures, discussions and writtings.
